    China receives US equipment to make advanced chips despite new rules - report
    Chinese companies are buying up U.S. chipmaking equipment to make advanced semiconductors, despite a raft of new export curbs aimed at thwarting advances in the country's semiconductor industry, a report said on Tuesday.

    China's first deficit in foreign investment signals West's 'de-risking' pressure
    China recorded its first-ever quarterly deficit in foreign direct investment (FDI), according to balance of payments data, underscoring Beijing's challenge in wooing overseas companies in the wake of a "de-risking" move by Western governments. Direct investment liabilities - a measure of FDI - were a deficit of $11.8 billion during the July-September period, according to preliminary data of China's balance of payments released late on Friday. That's the first quarterly shortfall since China's foreign exchange regulator began compiling the data in 1998, which could be linked to the impact of "de-risking" by Western countries from China amid growing geopolitical tensions.  ( 32 min )

    Exclusive-Trucking firm prepares long-shot bid for Yellow, seeks US Treasury support

The previously unreported effort by Jack Cooper Transport, a trucking company that counts General Motors, Ford and Stellantis as its main customers, has gained steam in recent weeks as the powerful International Brotherhood of Teamsters union and a bipartisan group of U.S. senators stepped up their pressure campaign on the Biden administration. The piecemeal liquidation of Yellow's vast trucking and terminal assets could begin next month, in a deal that is expected to value its real estate at $1.5 billion and its vehicle fleet at hundreds of millions of dollars.  ( 35 min )

Market participants widely expect the SEC to finalize the rule within weeks, perhaps as soon as mid-November, according to trade group SIFMA and half a dozen banking and hedge fund industry sources.  ( 34 min )

    Buffett's Berkshire is sued by Haslam family over Pilot truck stop takeover

    Argentina market analysts see silver lining in Peronist election win
    A surprise first place for Argentina's ruling Peronists in a general election on Sunday could calm market fears about a runaway win for libertarian radical Javier Milei who has pledged to dollarize the economy and shut the central bank. Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa won around 36.5% of the vote ahead of right-wing outsider Milei with just over 30%, far outperforming pre-election polls and setting up a polarized run-off vote on Nov. 19 between the two. Analysts said the result should alleviate fears about a sudden devaluation of the local peso currency and reduce the likelihood of the country ditching the peso any time soon, with the eventual winner likely to have a weak mandate.  ( 33 min )

    Some investors believe a bond market selloff that has pushed the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield to 5% may have more room to run, as the Federal Reserve gives little indication of veering from its "higher for longer" mantra.

Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury, which move inversely to bond prices, rose briefly to 5% late on Thursday, a closely watched level not seen since 2007.  ( 34 min )

    UPDATE 3-Nokia to cut up to 14,000 jobs after sales drop a fifth
    Finnish telecom gear group Nokia on Thursday said it will cut up to 14,000 jobs as part of a new cost savings plan after third-quarter sales drop 20% due to slowing sales of 5G equipment in markets such as North America. The company is targeting between 800 million euros ($842 million) and 1.2 billion euros in cost savings by 2026 as it seeks to be on track to deliver its long-term comparable operating margin plan of at least 14% by 2026. The program is expected to lead to a 72,000-77,000 employee organization compared to the 86,000 employees Nokia has today, the company said in a statement.  ( 33 min )
